[QUOTE="Brian P., post: 5841425, member: 24451"] dont worry if the deer pruned them down, that actually stimulates the roots..wild trees get pruned all the time, and they continue togrow. one thing to do os to apply a heavy layer of wood chips from the local tree trimmer guys, ( they dump them free, just get them in summer when leaves are on ) about 1-11/2 foot deep around the trees and out about 20’ in all directions. or as far as you can, at least @0’ from the base in a circle. this will feed the trees and keep them moist just like in the woods where they grow naturally, in shade. chestnuts were a tree that grew right in the woods, and had lots of natural mulch around them from leaves dropping..so tree removal guys gring up small diameter limbs which make perfect compost and high nutrient food for the soils..believe me, your trees will do absolutely great..for years..this mulch will,last for several years, maybe 5-7 before adding anymore…you will need no fertalizers or supplimental watering , but do keep them watered for the first year or two, but after that the wood chips will do the rest and make your soils perfectly nutritious and perfectly moist and cool,,just like the Lord did in the woods ! where everything grows perfectly, even amongst other trees and shade ! this you can trust.
